SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 599,823, dated March 1,1898. Application filed August 5, 1897. Serial No- 647,178. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern-.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL R. BAILEY, a citizen of the United States,and a resident OfAmeSbury, in the county of Essex and carriage-seats;and it consists in means for securing metal handles at the front of theseat to the seat-sill and wooden seat-rail; and it also consists in theemployment of tubular metallic spindles secured to theseat-rail andseat-sill, as will hereinafter be more fully shown and described,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1represents a top plan view of my improved carriage-seat. Fig. 2represents a front view of the same. Fig. 3 represents a side elevationof theinvention, partly shown in section. Fig. 4 represents an enlargedcross-section on the line 44, shown in Fig. 2.

' shown.

' of the seat-sill'and preferably secured to such parts by means of pinsD D. I wish to state, however, that I do not desire to confine myself tothe use of said pins as a means for securing said metal tubular spindlesto the seat-rail and seat-sill, as said spindles may be secured to saidrail and sill in any other suitable or desirable manner withoutdeparting from the essence of my invention.

By making the spindles O O of tubular metal great strength is securedthe attachment This invention relates to improvements in of theseat-rail to the seat-sill, combined with lightness in proportion to thestrength thus obtained. The said metal tubular spindle may readily bebent or curved, preferably in ogee forms, as shown, so as to make theseat roomy and comfortable for the occupants.

E representsthe solid metal handle, secured to the wooden seat-rail B,preferably by means of screws or rivets e e, as shownin Fig. 3.

To the front corner portion of the seat-sill A is secured a metalangle-plate F, provided with a perforated socket f, adapted to receivethe lower end of the metal handle-bar E,which is preferably secured tosaid socket by means of a pin f or other equivalent fastening device.

By constructing the metal plates F of angular form and securing them tothefront corners of the seat-sill they effectively protect theseportions or corners of the seat and prevent them from being broken orchipped off,which is a common thing with the ordinary wooden seat. Bypreference the angle portion of these brackets is of a thickness equalto that of the seat-sill, as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 6 of thedrawings.

What I wish to secure by Letters Patent and claim is- In acarriage-seat, the combination with the wooden seat-sill having a seriesof recessesin the upper face thereof around three sides, of a seat-railhaving similar recesses upon its under side, a series ofoutwardly-curved hollow metal spindles having their opposite ends fittedin the recesses of the seat-sill and seatrail respectively, metallicangle-plates F, secured to the two front corners of the seat-sill andeach plate having a solid angle portion of greater thickness than theremaining parts and a socket f, located at the angle of said plates, andhandles E, secured at their upper ends to the seat-rail and having theirlower ends fitted into the sockets in the angle-plates, substantially asdescribed.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses, on this 12th day of July, A. D.1897.

SAMUEL R. BAILEY.
